Description The presentation deals with the current state of the contemporary Lebanese theater. It outlines the three main obstacles preventing the development of the art form: censorship, funding, and the lack of documentation and scholarship. It then illustrates two innovative trends within the theatrical movement in Lebanon: The monodrama and the theater collective. It specifically sheds light on the socio-political engagement of independent artists and groups that have managed to bypass the mentioned obstacles and create a new space for free artistic expression.
